Glad to hear he is doing good, he was one of my favorite horses, loved seeing him run! I wish he would have made it into the Derby his 3 year old year, I thought he had a great chance to win it.

Grade 3 winner Chelokee is expected to cover about 15 mares this year at Arizona's Equine Center in Tucson.
LEXINGTON, Ky. - Centennial Farms has donated its Grade 3 winner Chelokee to the University of Arizona's Equine Center in Tucson, where the 6-year-old stallion will cover about 15 mares this year.

Chelokee, a son of Cherokee Run, sustained a career-ending injury to his right front foot in the 2008 Alysheba Stakes. After surgery and extensive rehabilitation, he entered stud in 2009 at Vinery in Lexington, where he covered 24 mares. He stood for $7,500 then, but mare owners will be able to breed to him this year for $2,000. That fee drops to $1,500 for black-type runners or producers, according to the Equine Center's manager, Laura Walker. Chelokee's 2010 book will include seven mares the center owns as part of its equine studies program.

What a wonderful horse, the Inside Information piece on him should have won an Eclipse.
